Patented Oct. 10, 1939 UNITED STATES PATENT OFFICE 4 Claims.

'Ihis invention relates generally to neckwear and particularly to neckties.

Neckties of the ordinary construction usually have an interlining to give stiffness to the neck- 5 tie and to preventl same from wrinkling unduly after being tied. Such interlining however will twist, roll or otherwise become displaced in the tie, especially after the tie has been washed or otherwise cleaned.

It is therefore an important object of my invention to provide an interlining for a necktie that will not twist, roll or become displaced under normal conditions of wear or cleaning.

It is a further object of the invention t provide a necktie of this character having a double interlining to give added stiffness.

It is another object of the invention to provide a necktie of this character wherein each strip of lining is secured individually adjacent one edge to the tie material adjacent the respective edge thereof.

A further object of the invention is to provide a necktie of this character of simple, durable Construction and of low manufacturing cost.

Numerous other objects and advantages of this invention will be apparent as it is better understood from the following detailed description, which, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, discloses a preferred embodiment thereof.

Referring to the drawings:

Figure l is an open plan View of the inside of a necktie embodying my invention and showing the lining stitched to the necktie prior to folding.

Figure 2 is a View similar to Figure l but showing the necktie after the first folding operation.

Figure 3 is an enlarged section taken on line 3 3 of Figure 1.

Figure 4 is an enlarged section taken on line 4 4 of Figure 2.

Figure 5 is an enlarged section taken on line 5 5 of Figure 6.

Figure 6 is a plan view of the under or back side of the finished necktie.

Referring more particularly t0 the drawings, which illustrate a preferred embodiment of the invention, reference numeral I0 indicates the body of the necktie cut for shape and hemmed at I I. The body of the necktie comprises. two pieces sewed together at I2 although same may be made of one piece if desired. Adjacent to each longitudinal side edge of the body I0 strips of lining I3 are sewed by stitches I4 to the body, said stitching running longitudinally of the necktie and being adjacent to the inner longitudinal edges of said strips I3 relative to the longitudinal center of the tie. The lining at each side of the necktie body I0 comprises two parts or strips for each side which correspond with the two parts of the body I0, although the respective lining 0f each side may be of. a single piece if desired, and the adjacent ends of the respective strips of lining at each side overlap.

Figure 1 shows the necktie open and with the strips of lining sewed to the body thereof. In forming the necktie one side thereof is folded longitudinally, relative to the length thereof, as shown in Figure 2, the seam I4 whereby the lining of the folded side is secured to the body being on the back side of the tie and substantially parallel with the adjacent side edge thereof when the tie is finished. The folded edge of the necktie body is then raised, as shown in -Figure 4, and the opposite side portion of the tie is folded longitudinally and beneath said raised edge portion as shown in Figure 5. The raw edge I6 of. the rst folded edge portion is folded under and the folded edge portions stitched together at I5 as shown in Figures 5 and 6l, after which the necktie is pressed. It should be noted that the stitches I4, whereby the linings are secured to the body of the tie are on the back side thereof when the necktie is iinished and adjacent to and parallel with the adjacent edge of said nished tie, and the stitching I5 runs longitudinally of said tie.

Each strip of lining is of substantially the same Width as the width of the respective parts of the finished necktie, as shown in Figures 5 and 6, so that a complete double lining is provided, said strips of lining being so out that they conform to the general shape of the finished tie and the length of said linings is such that they are not exposed in the finished tie.

It is thought that the invention and many of its attendant advantages will be understood from the foregoing description and it will be apparent that various changes may be made in the form, construction and arrangement of the parts without departing from the spirit and scope of the invention or sacriiicing all of its material advantages, the form hereinbefore described being merely a preferred embodiment thereof.

Having thus described my invention what I claim is:

1. A necktie comprising a body out to shape, and a lining strip sewed longitudinally to the body adjacent each longitudinal side edge thereof, said lining strips being sewed adjacent the respective inner longitudinal edges thereof, a

side edge portion of the body with its respective lining strip being folded back longitudinally and the other side edge portion with its lining strip also folded back longitudinally between the first folded lining and side edge portion, the raw edge of the first folded side edge portion of the body being turned under and the overlapping side edge portions being sewed together longitudinally of the back side of the finished necktie, said lining strips being so shaped that they substantially conform to the general shape of the tie and are not exposed when said tie is finished, and the stitches securing the respective lining strips to the body of the necktie being on the back side of said tie when finished.

2. A necktie comprising an elongated body piece having longitudinally extending side portions olded back and sewed together adjacent the free edges thereof, and a plurality of lining strips between the body piece and the folded side portions, one of said strips oi lining being secured to one of the back turned side portions adjacent the line of fold and the other lining strip being secured to the other back turned side portion adjacent the line of fold of said portion, said lining strips being shaped to substantially conform to the contour of the necktie to provide a double lining therefor said lining strips being independent of one another and overlap each other substantially the full width of the neoktie.

3. A necktie comprising an elongated body piece having longitudinally extending side portions turned back and secured together, and a plurality of lining strips between the body piece and back turned side portions, said lining strips being secured to the respective back turned portions adjacent the outer edges thereof relative to the longitudinal center of the necktie and said lining strips being independent of one another and overlap each other substantially the full width oi the ncktl.

4. A necktie comprising an elongated body piece having longitudinally extending side portions folded back and sewed together adjacent the free edges thereof, and a plurality of lining strips between the body piece and the folded side portions, one of said strips of lining being secured to one of the back turned side portions adjacent the line of fold and the other lining strip being secured to the other back turned side por Y.

tion adj aoent the line of fold of said portion, the stitches securing the respective lining strips to the body of the necktie being on the back side of said tie, said lining strips being shaped to substantially conform to the contour of the necktie to provide a double lining therefor and said lining strips being substantially independent of one another.
